Latest Liverpool news: Klopp confirms Keita will be out for a few weeks
Naby Keita has struggled since his arrival from RB Leipzig and will not feature against Arsenal at the weekend. The 23-year-old’s form hasn’t been great either and returned from the Africa Cup of Nations with an injury.
Keita featured in the Community Shield against Manchester City but hasn’t played for us since.
Jurgen Klopp was speaking to the media ahead of the clash against the Gunners and confirmed that Keita will be out for a few weeks.
James Pearce of the Athletic relayed the news of Keita’s injury during the press conference.

One back and another injured
Liverpool can thank their stars as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is back from a serious injury and looks good.
The former Arsenal man should make up for a season lost due to injury and Keita’s absence should not be felt much at the moment.
Of course, it is a problem as to why Keita cannot stay fit at the club as he was one of the most talented midfielders during his time with RB Leipzig.
The Guinea international is a dynamo and can carry the ball from one end of the pitch to the other. He was also involved in several goals for the Bundesliga side, but we are yet to see the best of him.
Many Liverpool fans were upset with the latest update but wanted Keita to rest well and return to his best soon.
Mismanaged by his national team coach, bad luck Keita hope u return fit and healthy
